Using felafel mix to bread chicken

So I've read in a couple of places about using felafel mix to bread chicken. Has anyone ever tried this? Essentially you mix an egg with a little mustard, use it to bread the chicken, dredge in felafel mix, then bake at 400 for about 30 mins. or until done. Ingredients in the felafel mix:

I am making it tonight!!! I will definitely report back. I guess I'm a bit concerned about dryness, but what the heck. Stay tuned for a full report.

I have done this in the past, before I found SBD but I've not been able to find a falafel mix that doesn't have potatoes or potato starch in it. Of course, the amounts are small... so I think it's really a personal choice.

My mix does not have potatoes or potato flour in it. It is "Sahadi" brand. Sahadi's is a store in my neighborhood (not a chain) so it is their house brand, but they do have a website so you could buy it online I guess.

I'm allergic to the soy flour in the mixes. I've pulverized dried garbanzo beans in the food processor and mixed it with herbs/spices for the same effect. And I used it to coat sliced zucchini. Get the larger zucchini, slice lengthwise into 1/4" thickness. I brush with olive oil, but egg whites would also do the trick. Then coat the slices. I broil them in the oven till golden. Yummy! It would also work with eggplant slices.

I'm eating what I made right now. Essentially I mixed an egg with mustard, dipped the chicken in it, dipped it in the felafel mix, sprayed with cooking spray, then baked at 400 for about 30 minutes. It is a little dry but not too bad, although I won't say it's a low cal meal (I'm currently dipping the chicken in TJ's Goddess dressing). I will probably make this again!

I am sure you could do that or I was even thinking buttermilk marinade. I also think I made the felafel coating a little too thick. Next time I will try marinading it and also using a little less felafel. It was VERY filling and my husband loved it.
